“…As the tuning characteristics of a laser depend largely on the tunable filter, much effort has been put into building filters with excellent performance to expand the tunable fiber laser. So far, various filtering techniques have been explored, including Lyot filters [20,21], reflection gratings [22,23], fiber optic gratings [24], Sagnac loop filters [11,[25][26][27][28], volume Bragg gratings [29], and intracavity birefringence filtering effects [30,31], etc. Nyushkov B. et al achieved tuning of the output radiation wavelength from 1524 nm to 1602 nm over a range of 78 nm using a reflection diffraction grating [22].…”
